Suspension Techniques Rear Sway Bar

[Davin]

No question here, just a review really. After 135K miles, my stock rear sway bar broke (common problem). Since others will run into this and I didn't find this bar under a search so I fugured I'd add this thread in case someone searched rear sway bars in the future.

I ordered the Suspension Techniques bar from Summitt and I'm very happy with it. Unlike the stock bar, it is solid steel like the cobra versions. It was only $105. Comes powder coated in gray. Bolted right up, no problems. FYI.

can u tell the diff in handling?

not really, but I've just been on the street, haven't pushed it on a road course. I'm told the solid bars will help reduce understeer and it seems like its done that but it could just be that I was expecting it. I think the main plus is better durability over the stock bar. On the downside, it is solid so it is also HEAVIER! Which I hate to add weight to my car but I also don't want to add another part that will break.

How's the car running?

... I hate to add weight to my car ...

i try to look at adding weight to the rear as just another way to even the weight distribution between the front and rear wheels ...

BlackVert - Tru Dat!

Vibe - cars running great, in fact, I just laid down the initial TwEECer tweek yesterday. I still need to work with the timing for max performance, but as far as idle and drivability goes I couldn't be happier. You?

My car runs like a champ. Rock solid idle, torque is awesome. I couldn't be happier. My only complaint is that damn Spec Stage III clutch. I should have done the ProMotion clutch when the tranny was out. Good to hear both the 347 are running great.

interesting, I still have a "king cobra" with about 30k on it...not horrible yet, but I can feel it starting to go

I would strongly suggest a Kustom clutch from ProMotion.
